What are the characteristics of the key concepts and theories developed?
What are the relationships between these key concepts and theories to your project topic?
Why study the research problem further?
What contribution does your research aim to make to knowledge?
In summary you must identify the more important and significant literature and how your own
work will add up to what has already been done. ◄

9. Methodology
►You must start with stating your research objectives that have been created based on the
outcomes of you literature review chapter. The scope of the research and the methodology tools
